7 EQ Lessons I Wish I Knew Before I Started Mixing

You know when you've spent twenty minutes on an EQ, pressed bypass, and couldn't honestly tell which version sounded better? In 25 years of mixing, I've made just about every EQ mistake there is, and what surprised me, looking back, is how few of them were about technique. Most came from not understanding what EQ is really for. In this video, I share seven lessons I wish someone had told me at the start, from my early mixes through to my years at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios.

Each lesson comes with a simple step you can try in your next mix, so you can start making EQ decisions with more confidence and trust your ears.
